Anti-aging skin care is the most popular way to look and feel younger. The beauty industry sells a plethora of creams, oils, balms and seals to tighten up the skin around your eyes and mouth. While incredibly effective on a normal basis for eliminating wrinkles, some of the more popular anti-aging skin care products contain dangerous chemicals known to cause cancer and other frightening conditions. Look on the back of the bottle of your cleanser or cream on your bathroom counter.

If it contains any of the chemicals:

Sodium laurel sulfate, phthalates, parabens, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, polyethylene glycol, myreth, oleth, laureth, ceteareth, PEG, polyethylene, polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, oxynol, oxybenzone, octylmethoxycinnamate, benzalkonium chloride, steardimonium chloride, cetrimonium bromide, cetrimonium chlorid, triclosan, chlorphenesin, sodium polyacrylate, or sodium carbomer…

… you’re buying something that is either bad for your skin or bad for the environment. What an outrageous list of chemicals. But notice that most popular skin care products include a list this long in their ingredients. However, there is a healthy answer to skin care.

The best way to take care of your skin and fight anti aging is to use a certified organic facial oil or cream. Rest easy knowing you are not endangering your body or the environment by exposing it repeatedly to toxic compounds. Many of the natural components included in natural skin care ingredients lists encourage your skin to repair itself, rather than cover up symptoms.

Some natural and safe compounds for anti-aging remedies include Matrixyl 3000, Syn-Tacks, and Coenzyme Q10. Matrixyl 3000 naturally stimulates your body’s production of collagen and elastin. The elasticity and tone of your skin helps reduce deep wrinkles and roughness. Syn-tacks interacts with protein structures in your skin. Syn-tacks encourages the natural production of Laminin V, Collagen type IV, VII and XVII, and Intergrin, ultimately enhancing cellular communication and health. Coenzyme Q10 also aids in natural collagen and elastin production while blocking free radical and sun damage.

All of these ingredients in natural skin care products focus on encouraging your body to manage its own health, rather than covering up symptoms with a commercially profitable “band-aid” for aging skin. Most aging can be attributed to sun damage and poor care of the skin. Using natural remedies is the safest way to look and feel younger.
